Best general burning software

ShortWarning · 30 Nov 2011 at 10:20

What do you guys rate?

I used to use Nero but it's become so bloated as of late I refuse to use it.

It needs to be able to do all the general stuff. Data discs/dvd, audio cds (converting mp3s automatically), mp3 cds etc.

The cheaper the better!

I use IMGburn all the time for iso burning, love it.

IMGBurn is good at what it does, but the interface might be a bit unintuitive for someone coming from Nero.

If you want something more Nero-like but without the bloat, take a look at CDBurnerXP.

Apart from the 2 mentioned above, there is also Ashampoo Burning Studio Free and InfraRecorder

CDBurnerXP

Thanks a lot. Going to give CDBurnerXP a go.

ConvertXtoDVD is another good one.

I use ImgBurn, but if anyone wanted something a bit fuller, I'd recommend InfraRecorder; a nice simple interface that looks like Nero once used to

Another vote for InfraRecorder.

Simple and easy to use. Will make audio cd's, burn ISO's etc etc.

Should also mention it's open source.

imgburn would be my choice

Or for just general burning then the burner built in to windows

I use Ashampoo Burning Studio 11 (got the upgrade for £13.99) there is a free version of the software, Google to find out where, it’s nice and easy to use
